KSig, I was surprised to here Powell speak about his distaste for the Republican party moving more to the right, with the selection of Gov Palin. I always thought of Powell being a more right leaning conservative... it appears he leans more to the middle--A position I once recognized McCain to be in. Does this surprise you, or has Powell always thought this way?
